Paroles de Danny come home (a town near montreal)

( molly-ann leikin / annette tucker / arthur hamilton )

1-
On a sunday morning
In a town near montreal
A baby in a basket
Cried outside the convent wall
He had the eyes of the widow johnson
And the station master's chin
And sister st-theresa heard him crying
And she took my baby in

2-
When the shame inside me died
Then the mother in me cried
And i go by the playground where i thought he' d be
I' d smile at every little boy, so i could see
If one of them was smiling back at me

3-
Danny come home,your mama' s heart is broken
Danny come home, you' ve been away so long
Don' t you know your mama keeps on hoping
That someday you' ll find out where you belong
Danny come home

4-
On a rainy morning
In a town near montreal
A lonely boy of seven
Climbed outside the convent wall
The station master helped him
Sneak aboard the ten-o-four and he was gone
And no one's ever heard a word
Or even seen the boy from that day on
5-
And i still cried myself to sleep
About the child i couldn' t keep
And i always pray that life is good to him
It' s a story that will never have an end
'cause what we gave away is never ours again
